Roundup

Many of the GM crops are made to withstand herbicides. A company called Monsanto sell Roundup Ready crops, that are designed to survive the uses of their Roundup herbicide. According to the the IRT, “Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million pounds of herbicide on GMOs,” (10). Overuse of the Roundup resulted in ‘superweeds,” resistant to the herbicide. This made farmers use more of the herbicide. Not only does it cause environmental…

Stronger weeds are becoming more resistant to the herbicides used due to natural selection (Peters). Specifically in Ohio pigweed is becoming harder to…

Humans have been selectively breeding and cross breeding plants and animals almost as long as agriculture has been around. Recent advances in technology have allowed for people to modify an organism’s DNA in a way that would not occur naturally. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms, organisms that have been altered at the gene level. The main reason that GMO’s were created is for food for human consumption and medicine. With the increase in the world’s population and the hope for new…

“Remember, my lady, I was your master once! I will be your master again. If you are any man’s wife you are mine!” (Hardy 344). Thomas Hardy’s quote from Tess of the d’Urbervilles is spot on when it comes to showing how women are treated as if they are inferior to men.

GMO’s are a diverse group of different plants, animals, and bacteria that all have been engineered in different ways. All GMO’s have been created for a variety of reasons.

GMO’s have been entering our food supplies, mainly in the form of plants but there haven’t been many recorded dangers or harmful side effects. Many people are afraid of…

herbicides resulted superweed. Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million pounds of herbicide on GMOs. Overuse of Roundup results in "superweeds," resistant to the herbicide. This is causing farmers to use even more toxic herbicides every year. Not only does this create environmental harm, GM foods contain higher residues of toxic herbicides. Roundup, for example, is linked with sterility, hormone disruption, birth defects, and cancer. (No author and year…
